Family-owned since new, this 1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia displays vibrant red paint across its distinctive curved bodywork. The unique profile shows off the Italian-influenced German styling that made these vehicles special among their contemporaries. Chrome wheels with substantial dog dish hubcaps add a period-correct appearance while maintaining the stock ride height. The 165/80R15 Nexen tires wrap around the wheels for a balanced look. The front end features a clean look with round headlights flanking the small grille, while the back shows off the subtle taillight design unique to the Karmann Ghia.
Black vinyl covers the interior surfaces throughout this Karmann Ghia, creating a stark yet appropriate contrast with the exterior color. The bucket seats offer good support during cornering without sacrificing comfort on longer drives. An Empi floor shifter puts the 4-speed manual's gear selection right where you want it. The dash maintains its original clean design with no added clutter. A Pioneer AM/FM/CD head unit sits in place of the factory radio, although it currently doesn't seem to have power. The straightforward layout demonstrates the German approach to automotive interiors of the era.
Mechanical aspects of this Karmann Ghia include the air-cooled 1600cc flat-four engine connected to a manual 4-speed transmission. The combination works well on both city streets and open highways. A new carburetor and aftermarket breather give this boxer engine added responsiveness. The independent suspension on all four corners gives good road holding, while the front disc brakes provide strong stopping power. The dual-to-single-to-dual exhaust system produces the signature sound expected from an air-cooled Volkswagen engine.
